    Somali man, 112, marries 17-year-old girl

    A crowd of hundreds attended the wedding between Ahmed Muhamed Dore and Safia Abdulleh in Guriceel, in the Galguduud region of Somalia. Mr Dore said: "Today God helped me realise my dream."



    Mr Dore and his teenage bride are from the same village, and he said that he had waited for her to grow up before proposing.


    He said: "I didn't force her, but used my experience to convince her of my love, and then we agreed to marry."


    The bride’s family said she was "happy with her new husband".



    At 95 years older than her – if his claimed age is accurate – he is old enough to be her great-great-great-grandfather.



    He already has 18 children by his other five wives.



    According to Somali historians, the wedding is the first of its kind in Somalia for over a century.



    Source: Telegraph..


    Dhore has 114 children and grandchildren. His oldest son is 80 and three of his wives have died. This was his first marriage for three quarters of a century.

    He already has 18 children by his other five wives.

    At 95 years older than her – if his claimed age is accurate – he is old enough to be her great-great-great-grandfather.
    Even more shocked.

    Three simple rules in life:

    1) If you do not go after what you want, you will never have it
    2) If you don't ask, the answer will always be no.
    3) If you do not step forward, you'll always be in the same place

    Re: Somali man, 112, marries 17-year-old girl

    Apparently it's a growing trend. Check this out:

    107 year old wants a 23rd husband, since she feels her 22nd husband (who's 70 years her junior!) doesn't love her anymore.

    Sorry, back to the main article. They have a picture of the happy couple in the BBC page (here) and I have to say this guy looks amazingly well for a centennial. Kudos to him.

    How can he ................ ?
    I think he can.
